It depends whether she is in the same NetId area as you or not. No easy way to tell but to try it !

Be aware though that VM can tell the box has moved although they tend not to bother looking as long as the subs continue to roll in !

So basically if its the same net id the box will work and if not it wont?

Given that Virgin Media have expended a lot of time and money on N3, is there any feeling that they may in the future completely clampdown on both 'extended' multiroom and card sharing? I would have thought that closing the door on these routes is easier than N3 was.
